Su Chen, who had successfully passed the outer sect trial, walked out of the formation with composed features.
He, who looked calm and confused, was in stark contrast to the crowd who were still struggling with the Star Shattering Sword Art!
"Challenges completed. You are rated extraordinary in the tests! Su Chen is promoted to an inner disciple!"
The monitoring elder only reacted when Su Chen walked out of the formation and returned to his original position.
"Next, Liu Tao!"
However, no one cared about the next disciple.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Chen.
Cao Yun, He Jing, and the others looked at Su Chen with fanatical expressions.
"Senior Brother Su Chen!
"Senior Brother Su Chen!
…
Many outer sect disciples shouted excitedly.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Su Chen for breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm!"
Cao Yun took a step forward and looked at Su Chen with pride.
Su Chen's performance in these three tests made him feel with pride and elation.
Many outer sect disciples were no longer sardonic and doubtful, they were now filled with awe.
Su Chen nodded calmly, responding to everyone's enthusiasm.
"Kid, good job."
At this moment.
Elder Xie walked in front of Su Chen and looked him up and down. His face was filled with gratification as he praised him.
He felt proud that Su Chen was able to come out on top in the outer sect trial this time, stunning the audience. He would also be rewarded by the sect.
After all, Su Chen was the disciple he had invested in.
As long as Su Chen's performance in the inner sect was good enough, he could even benefit from Su Chen and become an inner sect elder in the future.
Cao Yun, He Jing, and the other outer sect disciples who supported Su Chen retreated to the side.
"Thank you, Elder. It's all because of your guidance."
Su Chen said humbly.
"Hahaha…"
Elder Xie laughed heartily when he heard that. Then, he shook his head gently and stopped smiling. He looked at Su Chen and said, "I don't agree with what you said. Stepping into the Forbidden Stage and cultivating one yellow-level upper-rank and one black-level lower-rank martial arts to perfection was all your own hard work. It has nothing to do with me. Alright, you just broke through to the Qi Sea Realm and need time to stabilize yourself. I will not go too far into it."
At this point, Elder Xie's expression became serious.
"These are the inner disciple's clothes and jade plates of identity and soul."
As Elder Xie was speaking, he flipped his hamd and a tray appeared in his palm. There was a white robe and two jade plates inside.
"I won't say much about the clothes and identity jade plate, they are the same as those of the outer sect disciples. However, this soul jade plate requires you to attach a strand of your divine sense to it."
Many outer sect disciples were envious when they saw this scene.
This was the first time they had seen an outer sect elder personally give clothes and jade plates to a disciple.
Generally, disciples who passed the outer sect trial would go to collect their own clothes and jade plates.
Even some geniuses who were valued and invested in by elders were the same.
Ever since the founding of the Great Mystery Sect, there had never been a case of an outer sect elder personally giving clothes and jade plates to a disciple.
Cao Yun, He Jing, and the others glowed with pride.
This was Senior Brother Su Chen!
This was the number one person in the outer sect!
Even Mu Qingxue did not receive such treatment!
"Every inner sect disciple is a pillar of our Great Mystery Sect and we cannot afford to lose them. Attach your divine sense to this. If anything happens in the future, the sect will know immediately."
Elder Xie picked up the soul jade plate and explained.
"I understand."
Su Chen gently nodded and immediately attached a wisp of his divine sense to the soul jade plate.
He didn't think that this jade plate was very useful.
Because once the jade plate was shattered, it meant that the person already died.
At that time, the only thing the Great Mystery Sect could do was take revenge.
It was meaningless to a dead person. It was better to give two more trump cards that could save lives.
Elder Xie didn't know what Su Chen was thinking. When he saw that Su Chen had injected a wisp of his divine sense into the soul jade plate, he nodded in satisfaction and put away the jade plate.
"This is the Sea Transformation Pill, the reward for this trial."
Elder Xie then took out a pill the size of a longan and handed it to Su Chen.
"However, it shouldn't be of much use to you. It's up to you how you want to deal with it. Oh, your new residence in the inner sect is in the identity jade plate. Go and take a look when you are free. Don't let your guard down after you enter the inner sect. Remember to cultivate well. In half a month, there will be a test in the inner sect."
Elder Xie kindly reminded him.
"Thank you, Elder."
Su Chen nodded and cupped his hands at Elder Xie.
Then, he took the item and put it into his storage ring.
Elder Xie looked deeply at Su Chen, then turned into a ray of light and flew towards the Elder Hall in the distance.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Su Chen, for becoming an inner sect disciple!"
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Su Chen, for becoming an inner sect disciple!"
…
After Elder Xie left, Cao Yun, He Jing, and many other disciples went forward to congratulate him.
"You guys have to cultivate well too. I'll wait for you in the inner sect!"
Su Chen smiled kindly and nodded at them.
"Alright, Senior Brother Su Chen just broke through to the Qi Sea Realm. He needs time to hone his cultivation."
Cao Yun looked at Su Chen and his heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth and asked the surrounding disciples to disperse.
Su Chen looked at Cao Yun gratefully.
Cao Yun was right, he had just broken through to the Qi Sea Realm and needed to collect himself.
At the same time, he also had to move the things in the thatched cottage to his inner sect residence.
Su Chen walked down the Trial Peak under the admiring and respectful gazes of others.
…
In a short thatched cottage.
As soon as Su Chen returned, he blocked up the door and began to stabilize his cultivation.
It was not until late at night that he ended his cultivation.
"I'll go to my new residence first, then start cultivating the martial arts I comprehended from the mysterious stone tablet."
Su Chen muttered to himself.
After making up his mind, he took out his identity jade plate from his storage ring and examined it carefully.
It had information about his residence in the inner sect. However, he hadn't cultivated the divine sense in the Qi Sea Realm, so he could not use his divine sense to check the contents.
However, there was another way to find out the contents inside.
That was to make the jade plate recognize its master!
Su Chen made a cut on his finger and forced out a drop of blood essence to make the jade plate recognize him as its master.
Soon, he found his new residence in the inner sect.
"Good. It's quite close to the Scripture Pavilion."
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction and put the jade plate into the storage ring.
He looked around the thatched cottage and realized that there was nothing else he could bring. He turned around and headed for his new residence in the inner sect.
The reason why he chose to leave at this time was that he did not want Cao Yun and the others to send him off and delay their cultivation time.
